01- Cardanic Type Conveyor
Cardanic conveyors are based on the movement of the chain in three axis on the universal joint rail. Cardanic drive units are built as top-driven caterpillar unites or horizontal bearing torque safety. Chain pitch is 400 mm or its multiples. Thanks to the central lubricating unit included on the system, roller bearings of the chain are automatically lubricated in desired periods. Torque limiters are used in order to protect the system in cases of jamming and excessive forces. Roller bearings mounted on the chain are capable of resisting 250 centigrade. Either spring or screw tensioning system can be used for conveyor chain tensioning. Cardanic conveyor rail is specially made of bended metal sheets. Multiple drive units are used for long conveyor systems and all drive units are synchronized. One of the following three product types can be chosen depending on the needs of application.
02- Webb Type Conveyors
Operating principle of this type of conveyors is based on transferring suspended materials by chains and trolleys moving on a NPI profile by the help of a drive unit. WEBB type conveyor chains are made of nodular cast iron or forged steel and subjected to heat treatment afterwards. Special roller bearings used on trolleys are capable of operating at 200 centigrade. Greasers placed on trolley bodies provide lubrication for the system. The drive system can be built based on either the caterpillar system or the gearwheel system, with safety switches and moving trolleys. Conveyor speed can be easily adjusted by use of a frequency controller. Chain tensioning system consists skids and springs. Rollers and support wheels are used for band turns.
